Chapter 4
Establishing a development environment
4.1 Overview
This Chapter describes how to establish an environment to allow a developer to modify or create
Athena-based applications. The details of this will depend upon the particular site, on whether the user
is using a CERN computer, and whether AFS is available. Consult your local system administrator for
details of how to login and to create a minimal environment. What is described here is the appropriate
setup procedures for a CERN user on a CERN machine.
4.2 Establishing a login environment
4.2.1 Commands to establish a bourne-shell or varient login environment
The commands in Listing 4.1 establish a minimal login environment using the bourne shell or varients
(sh, bash, zsh, etc.) and should be entered into the .profile or .bash_profile (?) file.
Listing 4.1 Bourne shell and varients commands to establish an ATLAS login environment
